New ‘Clear Bag’ Rule In Effect For Eagles Practice At Lincoln Financial Field

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – 55,000 Eagles fans will be at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday for… practice. The team will hold the first of five ‘open practices’ at the stadium during training camp.

Fans attending will be subject to some new rules, set by the NFL which apply to the event, as well as every NFL game this season.

The rules are as follows:

Bags that are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC and do not exceed 12” x 6” x 12.” (Official NFL team logo clear plastic tote bags will be available through club merchandise outlets or at nflshop.com/allclear), or…

One-gallon clear plastic freezer bag (Ziploc bag or similar).

Small clutch bags, approximately the size of a hand, with or without a handle or strap can be taken into the stadium with one of the clear plastic bags.

An exception will be made for medically necessary items after proper inspection at a gate designated for this purpose.

Prohibited items include, but are not limited to: purses larger than a clutch bag, coolers, briefcases, backpacks, fanny packs, cinch bags, seat cushions, luggage of any kind, computer bags and camera bags or any bag larger than the permissible size.

Fans will continue to be able to enjoy their tailgate activities in the parking lots and to do so with greater safety and the knowledge that their entry into the stadium will be smoother and faster. They also will continue to be able to carry items allowed into the stadium, such as binoculars, cameras, and smart phones.

As the 2013 season approaches, we encourage fans to visit individual NFL team websites for specific stadium information.

Yesterday was LeSean McCoy's second annual charity softball game, to raise money for ALS research. Lots of NFL players showed up, lots of funds were raised for a good cause, and everyone had fun—except maybe this dude.

Lancaster police were called to break up a fight between two fans in the stands; they were both cited for disorderly conduct and released. You can see some more great photos of the fight at PennLive.
